Answer:

30 Miles

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two ways you can approach this problem. The first one is simpler, but the second way is more useful.

  • You could think about the problem this way: It takes 5 gallons to travel 150 miles, how far can one gallon take you? This way, we want to divide the total distance travelled by the number of gallons there are (which is 5). Therefore the answer is 30 Miles.
  • The second way is much more useful and can be more efficient. Set up an equation [tex]150=5n\\[/tex], given that n is the distance you can travel on one gallon. This equation means that 5 gallons times the distance you can travel on each gallon, is equal to 150 miles. After setting up the equation, you are almost done with the problem. From here, isolate the [tex]n[/tex] on one side of the equation to get [tex]\frac{150}{5}=\frac{5}{5}n\\[/tex], which can be simplified to obtain: [tex]30=n[/tex].

Hope this helps!
